Is the Catholic church a force for good in the world?

[Ben Kenobi]

The priesthood is just a glorified fraternity then? There's an order of female priests with duties equivalent to that of the order of male priests?

I believe they call them 'convents', and 'nuns'.

[loinburger]

Wow, Grammer nazi.

Because killing six million Jews is morally equivalent to correcting your ****ty grammar.

I believe they call them 'convents', and 'nuns'.

Ah, I wasn't aware that nuns gave sermons, administered sacraments, and so forth.

[Lorizael]

Lori, I agree with the study conclusions.



The study has problems because it tests whether men or women are more likely to stay with a roommate or not, not whether they are more or less likely to keep friends.

What you bolded is not a conclusion of the study but a guess from a science writer. Jesus.

[Ben Kenobi]

Golly. Next thing you know they'll be teaching docterates about split infinatives.

[Ben Kenobi]

Ah, I wasn't aware that nuns gave sermons, administered sacraments, and so forth.

And I wasn't aware that fraternities sponsored needlepoint.

[BlackCat]

No, scripture is pretty clear about that. It teaches that men and women are complementary and that they have different roles in society. That's all I'm saying here. I'm not saying that I believe women to be inferior or worthless, just different. I think it's a good thing that they are different.

But scripture are based on the society where it was written. Todays society has a totally different view on womens role in society, so don't you think that todays religion should mirror that ?

[BlackCat]

I believe they call them 'convents', and 'nuns'.

No, that is the eqivalent of monks, not priests.

[loinburger]

And I wasn't aware that fraternities sponsored needlepoint.

I wasn't aware that sororities sponsored needlepoint either. You must have attended the worst college on the planet.

"It's" can also mean "it has".

[Asher]

does that include giving oral sex to a woman?

Women are not to be pleased. They are to make dinner, raise children, and hand me beers during the hockey game.

[loinburger]

"It's" can also mean "it has".

Stop confusing Ben

[notyoueither]

Bob the Angry Flower for the win.

[Drake Tungsten]

It figures NYE would be impressed by something as wrong yet belligerent as he is.

[self biased]

Women are not to be pleased. They are to make dinner, raise children, and hand me beers during the hockey game.

so that's why you're gay.

[Asher]

Of course. What other reason is there?

My partner and I employ womenfolk around the house to do the chores. Fortunately, women get paid less than men as well. They're really terrific critters.
